The beta-lactam group of antibiotics such as penicillins (i.e. Amoxicillin), cephalosporins (i.e. Cefuroxime), and carbapenems (i.e. Meropenem) is the most widely used group of antibiotics. Beta-lactams are bactericidal. Beta-lactams have no innate resistance to beta-lactamases (enzymes produced by bacteria to break down beta-lactam antibiotics), but they can be paired with a beta-lacamase inhibitor such as Clavulanic acid. Later generations of beta-lactams may offer resistance to beta-lactamases. Beta-lactams offer activity against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens, including gram-positive, gram-negative, and (in higher doses, such as Cefazolin) anaerobic coverage.
<span>If a compound could interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis, it would destroy the cell. The bacteria would not survive failure of the cell wall. This compound would be useful in the treatment of bacterial infection as it would destroy the infection on a cellular level.</span>
The correct answer is C. Fermentation makes NAD+ needed to keep glycolysis going. The other options are inaccruate since:
for A: there are types of fermentation that does not produce carbon dioxide like Lactic acid fermentation
for B: many types of fermentation only occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic process)
for B: respiration produces around 36 ATP while fermentation only generates around 2 ATP
Has to be c

Answer:
- Can leverage Next Generation Sequencing technology to identify and characterize organisms
- Has resources to support analysis at the DOE-JGI site.
- Can identify microbiologic organisms without traditional isolation and culturing of individual organisms.
Explanation:
Metagenomics can be defined as the study of whole genomes of biological communities recovered from environmental samples. This genomic field has enabled the discovery of new species (microorganisms) and their effects on the environment. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies allow to obtain huge amounts of genomic data, which has been a limitation in genomics and metagenomics. Metagenomic NGS (mNGS) is a technique used for sequencing nucleic acids present in a biological sample containing mixed populations of microorganisms. Finally, the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) is a referent in metagenomic analysis, especially in genome assembly data obtained from microbial communities. This Science User Facility has developed a series of bioinformatics tools and databases in order to analyze metagenomic information.
